Eschatology is so much more than making a chart of what the end times may look like. Eschatology is meant to shape how we live and how we are discipled. Eschatology is deeply personal and relevant. Don't believe me? Then read this book. The chapter on 'Christianity and Consumerism' alone makes it a worthwhile read.
Favorite Quotes:
- Our corporate gatherings should bring us out of ourselves. In a world in which we are constantly told we are the center of the universe, from the devices buzzing in our pockets, the notifications from our social media spheres, and the advertising that is now geared to our preferences, we need time in which we are just one of many voices raised to the heavens, bursting through the immanent, consumerist frame that leads us to judge all our time by its usefulness or pleasure.
- It is good for us not to describe ourselves as "radical" and "new" and "innovative" and "fresh" but rather as wise disciples who stand in a long line of saints who have been faithful to the gospel.
